Having recently been through the biggest storm in my life, I will be praying so hard for you. Our God SPOKE and created this world, there is NOTHING too big for him. As we struggled with what the physicians told us and KNOWING the power of our God, we cried out to him over and over on our child's behalf, as we will for Tyler. I understand the fear of the many good hearted people and their many questions... take it all one breath at at time. From one mommy to another, I love you! Let me know if there is anything I can do.

Reading this has made me very sad. I really wish the best for the both of you. The decision to carry Tyler until term knowing he wouldn't make it was a very hard decision and that gives me alot of respect for you both. I think most people would end it there knowing the horrible outcome but not you guys. I believe everything happens for a reason and even though reasons may be unknown, they still happen. I hope the best for you both. Stay strong and keep your head up. God will give you guys another chance for children I am sure. Take care and bless your hearts!

Sweetheart. I am glad that you shared this website with me and we will continue to pray for you and Jim and the baby. I have to say that I would have done the same thing. I guess we can hope for some sort of miracle that they can find some sort of a cure or a fix to this situation. I am praying that God can be with you and watch over all of you. I would most definately have done the same exact thing that you have choose to do. God Bless you sweet heart and if ever you need to talk or Jim needs to talk please just send a message and I will get you my number and we will chat. I miss you girl. You were my baby girl that I remember baby sitting till you went off to your dads and I feel your pain and I am so glad that the LORD has shown his light down on you and your family. God is wonderful and you know as well as Id o that he has a reason for everything he does and we must trust him in all that he does and asks us to do. God Bless you both. I love you my sweet baby Brittany Marie!

I always knew there was a possibility of not carrying my son, Evan, full term. He was born on 8-7-05 b/c all of m y fluid had leaked out without my knowing. I love that you are doing this for your family. It takes a lot of courage; something that took me 4 years to gain. Good luck & i will be checking in as often as possible.

Hi guys! I would like to start by saying I hope your prayers are answered. I pray for you often. However, I wondered if you thought of honoring your baby's life by donating his organs so that others may have life. I mean no offense at all, just thought I would offer a way for your son to live on.

I am so sorry for the road you are currently traveling and the road that is ahead of you. I have been there - through the scary pregnancy, hoping against hope that God would heal my baby, doing everything in my power to keep her safe in my womb, and everyday dreading what will be after the pregnancy is over. I also now know what the "after" is like - the terrible overwhelming and uncontrollable sense of loss that takes over. No amount of knowledge of how likely it is to happen can ever prepare you for it.

Thank you both so much for letting me be a part of your lives and Tyler's as well. I know we all had big plans for him already but as it has been said plenty of times already, there is a reason for everything. Take pride in knowing that you and Jim are both already better parents than half the ones I know. You both are amazing people who will overcome anything and I am so sorry that you had to triumph over a situation like this. I love you both so much and keep your heads up, because it can only get better from here. Much Love, Allison and Kyle

Hello. I want to thank you for creating this website and sharing your story. I share pretty much the same exact journey. 12 years ago my son was also diagnosed with Potters. I was 6 months pregnant. I was also given the exact same choices from the doctors. Terminate or go full term. I also decided to go full term. I heard it all, the baby will die in utero, stillborn, they'll have to go in and get it out...they told me all this. we set a date to induce. Instead, around 8 months I went into labor on my own as they said I wouldnt and my son was born alive as they said he wouldn't. It was the hardest time of my life. He cried, he moved, he breathed, he opened his eyes and looked at me right after he was born, all like they said he wouldn't. My son lived and breathed for 1 hour. we all passed him around and took pictures and held him. He is buried in Baby Land of our local cemetary. Painful is an under statement. It took 10 years to even consider having another child, 11 years to decide yes and now 12 years later I'm 3 months pregnant. As they told you Potters is such a fluke thing, chances of it happening again are so slim. He is my angel in heaven and with me everyday of my life. Im not scared to die anymore because I have someone special to be with. Hang in there. You have a great support system. Stay strong. You may contact me if you ever feel like talking further. Much love to you and your family. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Theres a song by Alabama called Angels Among Us, thats my song to my son. Barb

You are very strong parents to be able to knowingly go through this. I envy your courage. I lost my own child at 3 weeks old to an unfortunate accident and it killed me. It has been 3 yrs since my own loss and it still hurts. I wish you all the strength I have through this journey you will be traveling. I will say a prayer for you two and ask that my angels come and stay by your sie through this journey. If you ever would like to talk please email me.

Thank you for sharing your story. It takes tremendous courage and great strength to do what you are doing. My Gabriel is a constant reminder of my need to move towards God and not away from him. Sometimes I have to remind myself of that that God is here and has never left me through all of this. The pain lessens but the miracle of it all is that hope is found when you least expect it. For me knowing you are not alone is of great comfort. Blessings on your journey with Tyler

Hi. Someone gave me your site from the baby boards. We found out today that our little ones (I'm 21 weeks along) kidney's aren't functioning correctly. It has polycystic kidney disease. Same prognosis as you. The baby can't make urine meaning the lungs won't develop. We were also given the option to terminate the pregnancy and we chose not to. We're in a waiting game now. I'd be happy to email you as it's nice to know there's someone out there going through somewhat of the same thing. My email is up top. Thanks for sharing your story.

Please email me if you have any questions.

I had a wonderful visit with both of you this weekend. Thanks for going through some of Tyler's information with me. It really helped alot. I tried to share of of it with your dad, but he isn't ready to hear it yet. I put Tyler's website on his computer this morning. He can look at stuff when he is ready. As for me, I pray everyday for miracles, strength, and blessings. I know, next time, you will have triplets. haha Jim wants twins. That way you both get to get up in the middle of the night. I think that pic of you sucking in your stomach is gross, but I have decided that it look like God's hand cradling Tyler. Just remember, If you need me, I am only a phone call away. Love to both of you

We don't know each other, but I came across one of your posts on babycenter.com and looked at your website. I'm not sure I've ever been so impressed with someone's strength of character before. I can't even imagine how hard it would be, and you are living it, doing it because you know it is the right thing to do. You both are obviously wonderful people, and Tyler is lucky to have you as his parents. I pray that God will give you the strength and courage to live your life and continue to love and carry Tyler no matter the circumstances. There are no words to say except thank you for giving me inspiration and hope that there are still good people, and that not everyone takes the easy way out. May God bless your family and may you never forget that the will of God will never take you where the grace of God will not protect you.

While reading your creation I have been placed at your feet by our Lord. He has shown me the mature women you have become and I am truly amazed and proud of you. When I first herd of your plite I Prayed . I payed with a flood of tears. I am at a point in my lifetime where tears are in abundance except for the dripping point, my eyes only give me a few! Always remember when you were little and you would crawl in my lap and we would rock and talk, read, or watch cartoons. You enjoyed that until there wasm't enough room for the both of us in the chatr!. I pray that you have a rocker and that you are sitting in the rocker and reading to tyler NOW, for it will be your only time together. Your baby has a purpose in this world and he isw all ready making his mark Please remember my girly girl or should I say MADAM, GOD LOVES YOU AND SO DO I! wHEN WE HAVE BABY GOATS YOU'LL HAVE TO STOP OVER LOVE YOU MY MADAM!!

I couldn't help but get teary-eyed reading the stories, the journals, and seeing the pictures of you, my beautiful cousin. I remember how we were as children, playing with our dolls (and fighting over them nonetheless)...Remembering those days and reading the words you wrote now make me realize what a beautiful and graceful, Godly woman you have become. I am so proud of you, there are no words to express it. You are continually in my thoughts and prayers. If there is a "best way" to handle this situation, I believe you are demonstrating that to everyone who knows you and reads your story. I am confident that you will be richly blessed because of your Faith and perseverance. I love you!

I have been keeping tabs throughout your pregnancy and just read the news. I find it more than coincidence that God delivered Tyler into this world on Thanksgiving. Our Pastor gave a message talking about the Last Supper and how Jesus prayed and gave thanks at it. How could Jesus have given thanks knowing he was going to die a horrible death? In it, Jesus still honored God with Praise. God is worthy of our Praise and Thanks regardless of our circumstances. The fact that you two HAVE been so strong through this is a huge testimony to the power and aide of the Holy Spirit. We will praise Him for Tyler's Life! God is good-He does not change. Keep praising Him-you are glorifying Him through this all. Grace and peace to you as you continue on this difficult journey of grief and loss. Your story is truly inspirational and I pray that the LORD will bless you abundantly, that you will experience joy in the land of the living.

Your name caught my eye and it brought me to tears. I contacted Zibby and she told me a little about the story and gave me this website. I am so moved by your strength, and your story. My son's birthday is the same as Tyler's. He just turned one this year. I could'nt imagine to go through what you and Jim have and are. I just wanted you to know my thoughts are with you. And I am truely moved by your story. I wish you two the best of luck, and Tyler is truely blessed. When the chance returns for you two to be parents, I believe you will do a wonderful job.

I have never read a story that touched my heart soo deeply...I cried the whole way through...all I have to say is you are both such amazing people...you are the true meaning of love and strength...and your lil boy felt more love in an hour and a half than many feel in their whole lives...and lil Tyler will be watching over his mommy and daddy for the rest of your lives...you have your own guardian angel...and Tyler couldn't have asked for better parents...you are both such inspirations...my thoughts and prayers are with you both...thank you for letting us be a part of your faith, love, and tears.

I just wanted to tell you how beautiful your sweet Tyler was. My name is Angie and you commented on a post I left on the December birth board on the BabyCenter site. You may not remember me. I lost my baby boy 7 years ago and have a little girl who is 5 1/2 years old who has the same terminal disorder my son had. I was scared of having another sick baby and you shared with me your story. I have thought about you often since then. Baby Sarah was born healthy, praise the LORD. As a Mother who has lost a baby, my heart breaks for you. May the LORD surround you with his love and may the angels dance around Tyler always. Maybe he has even met my little boy up there! GOD bless.

Thank you for your honesty and for sharing all that you have gone through. What a blessing it is that you were able to get so many pictures when he was born. You will continue to be in our thoughts and payers.

Sometimes I get on here and read your recent blog posts. Other times I get on & go through the whooole website, looking at posts and pictures from the very beginning of this journey. The feelings that I get when seeing the beautiful way you celebrate Tyler's life is amazing. There are no words to express the emotions that flow through me whenever I hear his story, or see his precious pictures, or read about his life. Question upon question enters into my thoughts.. Why? Why did this precious baby boy NOT get a fair chance at life. How? How on Earth were you feeling when you got a call from the doctor's office saying you'd have to see a specialist? Saying your baby wouldn't live? Feeling him kick and wishing he'd stay in your tummy forever since that was where you knew he was safe. Holding him in your arms after birthing him, wishing that God would perform some kind of miracle and everything would be okay, even though you knew that was impossible. Ugh, Brit... I swear, there are so many days where I grieve with you over this (in a different way, of course).. I know acceptance is a part of the grieving process, but I think it's almost impossible to ACCEPT losing a child, losing a baby, an innocent bundle of joy that you want nothing more than to love and to see grow & live a happy life. I guess it's more that you're accepting that it actually happened than accepting WHY it happened (because you never really know why, and if even if you did, nothing in this great green world would make it okay that you lost your child). You know what I'm saying? Basically, if God himself came down and said "Brittany, I'm taking Tyler because he has a purpose in Heaven" it's not like you'd be like, "Oooh, Ok, that's why he's gone? I'm fine with that!" There is NOTHING that will ever make it okay, even if all your questions WERE answered.... I'm always thinking of you baby Tyler, always. And praying for your momma. Love you all.
